Volkswagen Golf review


The Golf, then. One of the few cars that can simply be itself, and one of the few that defines a genre. It’s not ‘Hyundai/Ford/BMW/whoever’s new Golf rival’; instead, it simply is what it is: the epitome of the small family car and the one by which others are judged.

It's now in Mk7 form, a Golf underpinned by a platform that carries great responsibility for the Volkswagen Group. Dozens of cars within the group will be based on this architecture, throughout the group's brands.

Just as well, then, that this Golf leapt to the top of its class when it was launched in 2012. Since then the range has been expanded greatly, to encompass everything from a 1.2-litre petrol turbo, through to the fast GTI hot hatchback.
